Hello I have a ford mondeo 2l tdci on idle it has a rattle, sounds like a loose cover but when I give it a little acceleration (very small amount ) and hold it the noise goes any ideas? Is it possible to ajust the idle to rev a little higher? Many thanks chris

Yes, you can adjust the idle speed by adjusting the throttle speed screw at the throttle body-my problem here I don't the information for your vehicle and in addition the computer adjusts the idle speed automatically-
